By the end of 2001, I found myself with 4 dedicated and extremely passionate workers, saucing away i n a small factory in Somerset West. The same team (with a few added crew members, who followed me to Montague Gardens) to this day ensures the finest sauces on your shelf. At first we targeted small restaurants and farm stalls, but the word spread (or should I say “taste spread”) and the demand for Bushman’s Chilli Sauces grew day by day. Today Bushman’s is situated in Maitlands, Cape Town, supplying a growing variety of sauces to retailers across South Africa and Europe and we are still making and bottling every sauce by hand! More and more additions were added. Starting with the firstborn, Bushman’s Fire, we added familiar favorites such as Jalapeno and Garlic Pepper and made sauces infused with foreign flavours such as Prego-Guese Sauce (Portuguese); Hot az Hell (Italian); Peri-Peri (Portuguese) and Habanero (Mexican). My goal was to ensure that nobody’s taste buds were left out.
